So to hang on the "Alex probably moved onto another progression before he broke open" excuse makes no sense. Zero.

Furthermore... I didn't play QB but I did play TE. Our QB's read progression was different for every play and didn't have much to do with short route to long. It had to do with that particular play and which receive they believed would break free based on what they believed the defense was going to be doing. That progression changed from game to game... sometimes it changed within the game. There isn't ONE way to set up a progression. You can guess from home based on what you see the QB's head doing, but often times the QB's head is facing one way, while his eyes are scanning somewhere else. You can't know for sure sitting on your couch.
